题目解答

答案

1.C

2.D

3.A

4.D

解析

考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节的理解、推理判断能力以及词汇猜测能力。
解题思路：

  1. 第一题需定位文章中明确说明中国科学家访问Amery冰架目的的句子；
  2. 第二题需结合南极极端寒冷的环境，抓住“必须穿防护服”这一关键信息；
  3. 第三题需通过“tight living spaces”和“dormitory”推断居住空间特点；
  4. 第四题需根据“annoying”和上下文语境猜测“snorers”的具体含义。

第（1）题

关键信息：文章首段明确指出“中国科学家收集冰样本和温度数据，用于研究全球变暖”。
选项分析：

  • C选项直接对应“collect ice samples and data on temperatures”（研究全球变暖），为正确答案。
  • 其余选项（如A、B、D）均未在文中提及。

第（2）题

关键信息：南极冬季温度低至-60℃，科学家需全天候穿防护服御寒。
选项分析：

  • D选项“保护自己免受寒冷”是南极生活的首要需求，其他选项（如A、B、C）未被文章强调。

第（3）题

关键信息：文章提到“tight living spaces”和“sleep in dormitories”，说明空间狭小。
选项分析：

  • A选项“Small”最符合“tight”和“dormitory”描述的居住环境。

第（4）题

关键信息：文中“More remote field camps use separate tents. So, at least some researchers don’t have to put up with annoying snorers.”
推理过程：

  • “annoying snorers”指“发出鼾声的人”，结合“separate tents”可推断帐篷避免了多人共处时的鼾声干扰。
